I'm better today, but highly distracted by a distraction.

I slept longer and better last night than I have for a while.

Yesterday, I confirmed, by using Claritin, that I have allergy problems right now.

It might be from the Christmas tree being in the house for as long as it is, or perhaps there's something that's blooming or deciding to fuck me up this time of year.  Not the first time this has happened.

I have allergy eye drops I'm using too, and my freakin eyes burn like hell when I use them.

Ellie says they're supposed to burn like hell if there are allergens in your eyes.

The arthritis is making my hands hurt like hell.

Mostly the left one at the base of my thumb.

On Sunday, my Ham radio club had their Christmas meeting/feast.

One of the OLD female club members was being a real bitch and Ellie wanted to take her down.

Oh well, I had to listen to Ellie rant all about it for about 2 hours.

I'm starting to wonder if the boss is looking for a way to dump my ass from the team or lay me off.

It's not a personal thing on his side.

It's good business sense.

My eyes feel tired as hell, and I just took some caffeine to see if that will help me wake up.

This afternoon, after work, I have to pick up the Misses and one of their friends and take them to piano lessons.

During the lesson, I'm going to the store to pick up stuff that we need here at home.

Not too bad to do, but I'm tired of hell of shopping at Wal-Mart...

But it's the only store in our small town that has all of the items that are on my list.

I sure as hell don't like the idea of driving to several different stores to go shopping and waiting through several different check-out lines.

Well, I really need to get my ass a bit more awake so that I can focus on work.
